straw. II there IL no increase from this
cause the yield mast be less than an acre
age. Harvest is already in progress up
to the thirty-eight degree of north lati-
tt,de.
The condition Of spring wheat is good

general average for spring wheat is sI3,
lower than in recent years, but thirteen
per cent higher than in lSSl At bar
vesting last year condition averaged so.

aging $50.
An apparent enlargement of the bar
ley acreage of three per cent is ipdicated.
The increase is in Dakota, California, Or
egan and the Territories. Condition
averages 81, being slightly above that of
wheat

Northwest and there is a tendency to en-
largement in all sections Of the country.

A Deadly Weapon.

In an article on the bowie-knifc and
its inventor, Colonel Bowie, the Chicago
Herald tells these stories: During scs-
sion of the Arkansas Legislature in 1887
the speaker of the HQAse had occasion to
fall member to order. The member
insisted on keeping the floor for the pur-
pose Of making an explanation, whcrc-
upon Mr. Speaker drew an immense
bowie-knife and advanced toward the
offending member for the purpose Of
bringing him to order. The member
also drew his bowc-knifc, and, as the
speaker advanced, threw it at him, cx-
pecting to disable him, a feat that lie
had performed more than once. Unfor-
tunate,y he missed his aim, and the
knife fell ringing on tn floor thirty PAGES
away. The member straightcncd him
selfin front of his foe, who, advancing
deliberately, cut hip down with one
dreadful cash, killing him instantly
The gentleman having thus been called
to order, M Speaker resumed his scat,
and the House adjourned for three days
to attend the funeral. We ara tod that
Mr. Speaker was tried for the murder,
but was acquitted,
Another story that-had considerable
credence at one time was that At tho bat
tie Of Blena Vista, a regiment # N.s-is-
sipnians. under the command 81 .IeTer-
son DAVIS, received & charge Of " zlean
cavalry in the shape Of Y, with TIE
op6n end toward the onemy, The cav
airy, riding into the 6Tca end. were t.rst
(! greeted with deadly fire from tle rlies,
after which tic gallant M1-ss.lpplans
went at the '.Greasers' with tAe5r bow.c-
knives aa1 almost entirely destroyed

THANKSGIVING Dav.

The best o: Thanksgiving Day IS that
it makes IA acquainted with our happ.-
ness \ popular clergyman Of Bofton
toll story the other sunday which
showed how much some q rs need this
information. There are many people IN
tie vor,d who would he happy II they
did but know how happy they art,
You have lad a successful summer"
said our clergyman to a prosperous far
mer Of New Engand. Your barns are
full"
Yes" replied the farmer, not in q
contentcd tone; ''mpbarns are full-of
hay
Tie poor man, his mind fixed upon
things he had not, got no JOY from the
good thing he had. But he had very
good thing indeed, fer in cold and bleak
New England, barns full OF hay are con
vcrtible into all sorts Of nice, warm and
pleasant commodities. Upon the whole,
they are the farmers surest standby
There are families who have all the
means of happiness, home, abundance,
friends, honor, art, books, health, and
yet they have ordinarily no vivid sense
Of enjoyment They do not salute the
morn with gladness, nor reap from the
passing day its possible harvest of de-
light.
But let Thanksgiving come, bringing
home the absent members, and flooding
the house with chccrfulncss How
changed their mood, They had all this
wealth of the means of enjoyment before,
and, in languid way, they knew It.
| But Uncle John on the other side Of the
Alleghanies, and Uncle John beamine
across the table, are two different crea-
lures.
The one the boys know as some ont
from whom father receives letter oc
casionally, and to whom he writes. a
long intervals; the other is a hearty,
jolly fellow, who cracks his jokes ano
tells good stories in a voice as loud as i
is jovial. And yet, 50 far as flesh an(
blood and bones and hair are concerned
the two are one.
The festive day reveals to US the mos
real of all our wealth, the love Of kin
dred and friends, and the good intluenc
of the season warns Us through the year
